Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (3, 11, 24) with the draw of 19 December 2015 — its closest relative in 367 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 January 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈63M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 4 — 77,304 winners, 10% fewer than the 86k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
